Homeland Security Chair: ISIS Terrorists Are ‘Here In The United States’

ISIS terrorists are “here in the United States,” according to House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R., Texas), who believes it “would not be so difficult” for them to stage an attack.

“Well, we have the foreign fighters. There are about 30,000 of them, 5,000 with Western passports according to the DNI, Clapper, 180 have returned or gone to the region. And we have a — a number that I can’t disclose publicly,” McCaul said on ABC. “They’re here in the United States,” he continued.

Watch the exchange:

This is especially alarming because ISIS appears to be targeting individual members of the U.S. military.

“Well, we have the foreign fighters. There are about 30,000 of them, 5,000 with Western passports according to the DNI, Clapper, 180 have returned or gone to the region. And we have a — a number that I can’t disclose publicly,” McCaul said on ABC. “They’re here in the United States,” he continued”

What? I don’t understand what he’s saying. 30,000 of them here, but only 5000 legally? And why can’t he disclose publicly some number or something?

a) 30,000 total worldwide b) of that total, 5000 with Western passports c) of those with Western passports, a number believed to be in the US that he probably heard via a classified briefing and therefore is not permitted to say the number. Plus some may be stooges in the employ of Uncle Sam.
